Overview of User Guide

This User Guide incorporates information up to the January 2015 blog posts and details GenomeSpace functionality. Sections are organized as reflected in the left navigation menu and the outline below. For instructions on accessing GenomeSpace functionality for a specific tool, see the Tool Guide. Please read the Highlights & Quickstart section for an introduction before reading the detailed User Guide.

The User Guide provides descriptions of GenomeSpace functionality in a two-pronged manner: (i) a visually-oriented approach in User Interface and subsections and (ii) a task-centric approach in the remainder of the guide. Thus, some instructions are repeated on these pages although they may be presented differently. As we make improvements to the site, accompanying screenshots in our guides inevitably become snapshots of past versions of GenomeSpace and may not correspond exactly to what you see in your current instance of GenomeSpace. However, these minor differences should not detract from the instructions and the overarching functionalities provided by GenomeSpace.

If you need additional clarification, please post to the forum or let us know at gs-help@broadinstitute.org. We are a small team and rely on your feedback for improvement.
